A Dispensary in Nanaimo has been Closed due to its Proximity to a Daycare

Nanaimo Mounties have closed a marijuana dispensary that opened next door to a children's daycare centre. Leaf Labs Medical Cannabis Services, at 679 Terminal Ave., was shut down Monday, three days after it opened, when police checked the business and allegedly observed evidence they believe contravene Canada’s Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The dispensary was closed and secured until a search warrant was granted to search the premises.Police seized about 0.7 kilograms of marijuana.

A 24-year-old man, allegedly operating the dispensary, was arrested for possession for the purpose of trafficking and released later that day on a promise to appear in Nanaimo provincial court July 10.

The dispensary was brought to the RCMP’s attention because of its location directly next door to the Kidz Kompany daycare centre.
